This was a multiplatform product development project in which I invested almost 4 of my “initial” years. This was a desktop-based product developed in Win32 SDK that used to send analytical data based on customer usage to a JBoss server. Where a JSP based process used to pick the files based on UUIDs, parse using hibernate and dump into oracle database. Worked on shell scripts to automate deployment of java-based application to JBoss server.

Index	Modules I worked upon	Details
1	Customer Analyzer (Server Side - JBoss)	Technologies on server side: Java, Hibernate, Oracle 9i, shell scripting, putty. Server-side Responsibilities: Customer Analyser - One end of this module lies at the client side (C++) whereas as other end lies at the server side. On server side, we have two processes: 1. One process receives XMLs from the client. We save them on the server. 2. The other process parses the files stored at particular location of the server and put the data in the database using Hibernate. 3. Worked as a primary resource/owner for the feature.
2	(Client side) of the Application	Technologies on client side: C++, WPF 1. Customer Analyzer (Client Side): Here we collect different types of data from the use like: Which banks are used, what types of accounts customer is having etc. After collecting this data from the user, we store it in an XML and send this to the server by spawning a different process. 2. .net migration, writing bridges: The application is a legacy product in C++. A plan was designed to migrate this from C++ to WPF. a) The solution consisted of around 100 projects in it which were not compiled by CLR. My task was to compile them by using CLR. b) Also worked on writing bridges from the new WPF solution to the old C++ solution. 3. Hidden Accounts (Banking accounts): User can have lots many banking accounts in the file. a) Implementing a feature which separates accounts into different sections and makes use of these sections while preparing reports, presentation charts, graphs etc. b) UI implementation of related screens. 4. UI implementation for Loan feature: This application is having “Loans” as one of the feature. Worked on UI development for the same. 5. Canada Release: We have a separate release for Canada with some changes related to SKUs, feature checks and spell checks. Had Worked on Canada release. 6. Defect fixing: Was there for two yearly market releases of the product. Worked on lots of defects that we have to fix just before the market release.
